With such an abundance of choice on the market, knowing which type of roller shutter will provide the right security and aesthetics for your premises can be confusing. To help you choose, the roller shutter experts at Quay Facilities, roller shutter installation, repair and maintenance specialists, share the most important features of the different types of roller shutter available.  

Industrial roller shutters

Ideal for warehouses, loading bays, garages and factories, industrial steel roller shutters provide effective protection for busy entrances and exits. Our roller shutters are incredibly strong and durable which means they provide an excellent level of security right where you need it to keep everything inside your premises safe. 

Commercial roller shutters 

Commercial roller shutters are a great choice for premises such as shops, retail units, offices and health centres that want to protect their vulnerable entrances and exits without losing out on out of hours interest. That’s because commercial roller shutters can have perforations which allow passing customers to have a peek inside your shop even while it is closed. You don’t have to worry about security either, they are still incredibly strong and are an effective barrier that will stop intruders in their tracks. 

Security window shutters 

Specially developed to provide a visually appealing way of protecting windows, security window shutters are a popular choice for those who don’t want to lose the aesthetics of their home or business premises. While they look great, they are also robust, provide excellent anti-vandalism properties and come in a range of designs and colours. 

Fire roller shutters

As the name suggests, fire shutters provide commercial buildings with the highest level of protection against fire and smoke. They act as the building’s shield when under the threat of fire and can last anywhere between 60 minutes and 4 hours, giving anyone inside precious extra minutes to escape. At Quay Facilities, our roller shutters have been tested to BS 476 part 22 1987 standards. 

Security grilles 

Security grills are available in a range of patterns and designs that help to not only protect the building from unwanted visitors but enhance its visual appeal. The strong metal bars are incredibly strong and are extremely difficult to break which helps to put off potential marauders from even attempting to gain access to your property.
